The Good Stuff
Custom orders
You can adjust sugar, ice and milk type, with both popping boba and sugar boba available.
Topping choice
The menu includes different tapioca styles, including popping and sugar bobas, alongside other toppings.
Sturdy cups
A practical detail for takeaway: one customer specifically liked the sturdier containers because they spill less easily.
Pickup option
One review says you can order before arriving and collect the drink when you get there.
Front parking
RTA parking was reported directly in front of the branch, which is useful for a quick stop.
Tips for a Better Visit
Adjust sweetness. If you prefer a lighter drink, ask for it without sugar; one review specifically recommends that approach for iced tea.
Use pickup. For a faster stop, order before arriving and collect it rather than waiting in the cafe.
Check promotions. Confirm the 1+1 offer’s eligible days before paying, as a review reports conflicting explanations from staff.
Allow time. Build in extra time if you visit during a busy period: one customer reported a 15-minute wait for one drink.
Use front parking. For a quick car visit, look for the RTA parking reported directly in front of the branch.
Plan takeaway. Seating is limited, so takeaway or a short stop may be more comfortable than planning a long cafe visit.

The Bottom Line
Tealicious is a bubble tea stop in Umm Suqeim where you can order classic milk tea, fruit iced tea and drinks with different boba toppings. Reviews highlight Passion Boba, Ceylon tea, Earl Grey and burnt sugar options, while the menu lets you set sugar and ice levels and choose a milk type. Popping boba and sugar boba are also mentioned.
It suits a quick snack or takeaway more than a long cafe session: one review notes limited seating, while another liked the sturdy containers because they were less likely to spill. RTA parking was reported directly in front of the branch, and pickup before arrival is available according to one customer. The experience is not completely consistent.
Older reviews describe fresh-tasting tea, friendly service and good drinks, but several newer reviews report a 15-minute wait, unresponsive or inexperienced staff, poor flavour and tapioca that tasted like plastic. A September review also raised serious hygiene concerns, including flies around the food and counters. If you visit, consider ordering off-peak, confirm any 1+1 promotion terms before paying, and ask for no sugar if you prefer less sweetness.
